Before that gets out of hand, let me say that overlook was the only one (going or coming) on the Cherohala that was not socked-in with 100 foot visibility drizzling fog. (Came just in time, too) . . .

Those were the three V11 spine frames. (No V11 LeMans !!!!!! :huh:  )

Two more spines with pressureangle's wicked yellow 1100 Sport-i and Josh's very fine SPOrT 1100 . . .

Verify the buttonc (that connects the rotor to the mount) are free to move .

Think it was due to crap on the pads. Thanks to the 18th Annual Spine Rainery it seems to have cleaned out.

I kept telling myself, "Coulda been (lots) worse." At least the Sport had the courtesy not to completely lock up the front brakes until she and I were at a complete stop and out of the dense fog.

Four different Guzzis with brake issues of some type. As I have often said lately, "No reason to plan a TechSession. Somebody's bike already has one planned for us. Just: Get There. Bring Tools." :luigi:

I'm seeing three tire strategies (and maybe a fourth, if you play your cards right) . . .

1) Calculate the tire life, strategize the lead-up riding, and make it home with at least a couple hundred miles to spare ( sketchy-me, again, The Gambler/ Jack of Spades ). ♠️  :whistle:

2) Use up the existing tire with the lead-up riding and arrive at the SpineRaid with a 100% tire. (Randy, The Jack of Diamonds ). ♦️:sun:

3) Wear out truck and trailer tires, but preserve motorcycle tires. "Get There. / Bring Tools." (A known, valid, strategy. Our most mature, and most calculated, element, The Jack(s) of Clubs ) : ♣️♣️:luigi:  :luigi:

4) Discover a tire fail and enjoin in the solution. Pray for divine intervention.

Oh, yes. There is clear photographic evidence of the re-badging. Note to Spine Raiders who ask, "Can I ride my (something else)?"

Why, sure. Until you show up with your (something else) the third time and it leaves re-badged . . .
